NVIDIA has their own driver. Very easy to insstall. Just substitute XF86Config-4 for XF86Config in the instructions and all should work fine. I'm playing Quake3 and Unreal Tournament with no problems at all. As far getting a V5500 I ask why? A Geforce2 MX costs about a 100-120 bucks for a 32 meg card that pounds the voodoo into the dust in both windows and Linux. I used to be a Voodoo owner V1/V2 but Nvidia gets my cash because there cards are the best right now. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 11/17/2000 at 9:40 AM Rial Juan scribbled: >Check the nvidia website; they have their own drivers for 4.0. > >On Nov 9 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> Instead of using nvidia's card, try 3dfx voodoo 5500 card, it works great on >> my linux box running mandrake 7.1. >> >> -bunty >> >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Francois Pons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >> Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2000 9:26 AM >> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Cc: jerrys >> Subject: Re: [expert] NVIDIA question >> >> >> jerrys <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >> >> > *This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* >> > I installed Mandrake 7.2 using the expert option on my system and I have >> > a question on how instillation is done. >> > The first time I installed 7.2 was with Xfree 4.0.1 and I have a Viper >> > 550 TNT AGP card installed on my system.
